A mineral systems analysis for Cu-Mo-Au in the Delamerian Orogen has been conducted to assess the orogen's potential for containing this type of mineral occurrence. A conceptual model was delineated, and prospectivity maps were created. These maps can...

MSDP03 is one of four diamond drillholes drilled during 2015 in the Six Mile Hill area as part of the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP). The hole was drilled vertically to 262.6 m depth over the period 25/9/2015-2/10/2015, and intersected two...

MSDP01 is one of four diamond drillholes drilled during 2015 in the Six Mile Hill area as part of the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP). The hole was drilled vertically to 1116.8 m depth over the period 31/7/2015-15/9/2015, and intersected six...

This report provides a summary of high-precision chemical abrasion-isotope dilution-thermal ionisation mass spectrometry (CA-IDTIMS) U-Pb geochronology performed on zircon grains from five samples of Hiltaba Suite granites collected at locations...

A new generation, second edition MARREE 1:250 000 scale geological map and its explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's latest geological mapping program (1993 to...

A sequence of Cambrian rocks buried beneath thin Phanerozoic cover on the western edge of the Murray Basin was explored for possible skarn-related base metal mineralisation associated with concealed Ordovician granitic intrusions, for stratiform...

The Mount Woods Domain (sometimes termed Mount Woods Inlier) is located ~850 km north of Adelaide along the Stuart Highway. The nearest major population centre is Coober Pedy, which lies ~70 km north-west of the northern domain boundary. Geologically,...

Investigations aimed at revising the stratigraphy of the Mount Woods Domain in the north-eastern Gawler Craton have identified numerous metasedimentary and intrusive units. The dominant metasedimentary package has been classified and named the Skylark...

The Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) was a $3.5M cash and $4.11M in-kind collaborative drill program involving government, researchers, service providers and the minerals industry. The objective of the MSDP was to further the understanding of...

This geochronological study was undertaken within the scope of the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP), a program that was aimed at improving the understanding of the geology and prospectivity of the southern Gawler Ranges margin area on northern...

Proterozoic basement outcrops consist of syn and post- Kimban Orogeny granitoids, volcanics and basic dykes. Their rock type geochronology, field relationships and regional correlation are reported. Previous economic mineral investigations, plus...

The Depth to Crystalline Basement Data Package is a collection of GIS datasets (in ArcGIS and Mapinfo formats) that portray actual or inferred depth to crystalline basement in South Australia, which have been assembled on a province-by-province basis....

The SHRIMP zircon dating study described herein was undertaken as part of the National Geoscience Agreement (NGA), as a collaborative research project between the Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA) and Geoscience Australia (GA). Eight samples...

When Spencer Resources assumed the operatorship of the Pandurra JV Project licences, it undertook a comprehensive desk-top data review to assess the prospectivity of the licence areas for Athabasca Basin style unconformity - related uranium...

This technical report presents laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) U-Pb zircon geochronology data for 15 rock samples derived from locations spread across the Gawler Craton. The purpose of the subject dating project...

Geochemical and isotopic data from mantle-derived mafic rocks provide important constraints on our understanding of the composition and evolution of the lithosphere through time. Since the lithosphere is sensitive to tectonic processes such as...

During the period 1745–1700 Ma, felsic and mafic rocks were intruded throughout the Gawler Craton, broadly coeval with the 1740–1690 Ma Kimban Orogeny. These rocks were previously considered part of the Lincoln Complex, a stratigraphic term defined by...
